Texas Burgers

Submitted by Lauren in Wisconsin

"This recipe came from my husband's mother (who had 7 kids). It's a great way to "stretch" burger. My kids just love it when I make this. I think it's called Texas Burgers (Tex Burgers) cuz she made it on Texas Toast bread. The hamburger juice gives the bread a great flavor"

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1⁄4 cup minced onion
• 1⁄4 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• pepper (we like lots)
• 2 -4 tablespoons mayonnaise (do not use Miracle Whip...doesn't taste right)

directions

1. Mix raw ground beef with all ingredients. You can add anything else, like green peppers or leave out anything except for the mayonnaise.
2. Add enough mayonnaise so it becomes the consistency of ham salad (spreadable). Spread burger mixture on bread (Texas Toast bread or regular bread) very thinly all the way to the edges (it shrinks up as it cooks). Put all on a cookie sheet and broil until meat is done and the bread edges are toasted. My kids laugh because the smoke alarm always goes off when I broil, and they yell, "Dinner's done!".
3. You should have about 8 sandwiches per pound of burger.
4. Serve open-faced -- either "naked" like I like them or any condiments you choose. Really a different taste instead of just boring burgers.

I really want to give this 4 and 3/4 stars. These tasted fantastic but they didn't hold together as well as I would have liked. I think I will only use the 2 tablespoons of mayo instead of 4 next time and see if that helps. I will be making these again though. Thanks!!
